I have started to think what options are there for DD2 who loves animals and is also very creative, has good long term memory and an eye for detail; however is behind academically, especially in maths and sciences.

How important is that she passes her GCSES and does A levels.? she said she would like to go to university.

She has an educational plan due to a speech and language disorder which is not severe but impacts the way she learns.

I have been thinking in something like graphic design, zoology, vet nurse?

She has mentioned actress, singer, interior designer, fashion designer; but I think these are jobs/careers which are competitive and difficult to get jobs

There is a huge careers book published yearly called Trotman Careers . We got it from the library . It has a page for every career you can think of - might be worth a look for ideas about careers rather than degree courses though
